LIVE! From Worship Expo

God continues to open doors and rain blessings on our conference.  Our newly signed guest worship leader, Jason Lovins, will be recording his next album, LIVE, at our conference!  This will take place at the final session on Saturday afternoon.

Jason and I have been getting to know each other in our many recent phone conversations in preparation for the conference.  In those conversations, I have sensed the presence of the Lord as He continues to work out the details of the conference.  I just read Jason's official bio as I posted it and was floored by his life's testimony.  Please take a moment to read more about Jason on our Conference Leaders page. This is going to be so awesome!

If you have registered for the conference, you will receive a complete list of workshops and the times they'll be offered before you arrive.

Resurrection Sunday Wrap-up

We had an awesome time of worship yesterday at First Baptist Laurel.  For me, it started by attending our sunrise service which was held on the site of our new campus!  The regular services were full of energy and people met with the Lord in a special way.

My favorite moment of the morning was remembering scenes from The Passion of the Christ while we sang "Hallelujah! What A Savior" arranged by Tommy Walker.  I'll never get over the price that was paid for my sin.  What a privilege it is to lead our congregations into His presence every week - and especially on Easter Sunday!

I'd love to hear how your services went yesterday.  Leave a comment describing your favorite moment at your church.
